This book is not gentle. It does not hold hands, soften blows, or apologize for the damage it does.
So if you're underage, overly sensitive, or easily scandalized, consider this your friendly read-at-your-own-risk notice. You've been warned.
Now, let's talk perfection: it doesn't exist. Not in real life, and certainly not in this book, unless we're discussing fictional men, in which case, yes, they are legally allowed to be flawless and dangerously swoon-worthy.
The characters here are flawed to the bone. They bleed, unravel, and make choices they shouldn't. They love too hard, destroy recklessly, and rarely take the moral high ground. But that's kind of the point, right? So maybe keep the judge-y thoughts at bay and just enjoy the ride.
Yes, the plot moves fast. No, it's not a typo. Emotions ignite like gasoline. Violence and desire collide without warning. Love, death, obsession, and chaos unfold at a pace that refuses to wait for permission. So if things escalate quicker than your last situationship, know that it's all intentional and a fact. Therefore, readers are kindly asked not to express surprise or disbelief at the immediacy of events (especially if you are into slow-burn).
